I think this was a really fun project and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something to do. I have a lot more projects coming up that include waterfalls, so if you like these type of projects then stay tuned! Anyway let me know what you though about this one and I'll see you all next week with the Gargoyle Gecko vivarium.
There is now a sudden urge for me to find a way to shrink myself into the size of a beetle and explore all of the terrariums you've ever created because it would be so magical.
That was absolutely amazing. I am a conservation biology major in undergrad and I watch your videos to help set up mock ecosystems to represent different areas. You never cease to amaze!
A biotope is the same as saying a habitat. A persons can never fully replicate a habitat because we don’t have the ability to survive long enough to get the perfect conditions to recreate a thriving nature humus layer of soil. I do not feel confident in saying I create natural habitats so I call them mock ecosystems.
If you want to see some more beautiful habitats then watch Asu’s videos he goes all out! I mean seriously, he actually maintains the plants and doesn’t just put it there for decoration! Very peaceful and calming
it's always so interesting how getting things to look natural and unintentional, ironically, takes a lot of effort and planning. finding and creating patterns is so ingrained in us as a species that we can so easily spot when something- a design, a structure, how something is placed- looks deliberate. mad respect, man; you really know how to bring these creations together
Something tells me that tanner brings over a newly finished terrarium instead of a six pack of beer to friends house on a weekend night. No doubt, his friends and families houses r full of his work. Thx for making the vid
Here is a tip! When scaping small tanks, the smaller the aquarium you choose - the finer the sand needs to be. It makes the tank look like miniature of nature instead of an artificial tank due to the proportions.
I really like this project! But I would really appreciate seeing a follow-up video to see how the project weather's. How the plants and the Moss and such adjusts.
@@NxOxOxDxLxExS most likely he adds fertilizer in the water are as bucephalandra and anubias are epiphytic and absorb nutrients directly from the wafer column and moss will be fine
Have you ever thought of a design which looks like a lost/forgotten city? A terrarium where the plant will actually grow on the 'buildings' - a memory of humanity
I was thinking shrimp myself. If he used aquarium sealant instead of super glue to set the stones that is. I'm pretty sure the super glue would be toxic to all aquatic life
@@poldoll5683 super glue is actually really common in the fish hobby. I use it to hold moss on driftwood and glue rocks together. Completely safe for the fish as long as you use the right kind
@@poldoll5683 It's not toxic & used very often in the hobby. If you are worried about gorilla glue, Seachem literally takes Gorilla Glue & relabels it as "Aquarium safe Seachem Flourish Glue"
It doesn't look like it would be good for shrimp, even trough it might be big enough. I am not sure about snails either. But a bigger version of it with a filter would look great with some guppies or tetras!
It did turn out great indeed. The shelf as a whole is great, I love the little universe of a space you have in there - the three are sitting so well together. Thanks!
I'm so glad that you put out this more accessible content as well as your in-depth, painstaking builds. This is very inspiring and a reminder that a project doesn't need to be enormous to be dope as hell.
I really respect your artistry and the amount of skill/time projects like this take. I would love to get into this, but I just don’t have time in my life. Thanks for letting me live through you.
Inspiring build! I’m definitely going to try this one. I have been having problems sourcing slate, but will try my local fish store as suggested. Thank you!
I’m in love with this feature, but won’t it accumulate a large amount of algae? Would it make sense to add little things like shrimp to keep the cycle clean?
@@rinnerebirth1171 You'd need a decent filtration system added to it and you'd have to be cery careful with the nitrogen cycle/acclimation periods of the tank, but ny answer is "kind of". 4-8 shrimp would be ok, once they breed (if they even do in this tank) you'd have to move them. Space is a concern because it's a little small.
@@rinnerebirth1171 no problem. But the would probably commit suicide over time. Come on, it’s aquariums, of course they will. But you shouldn’t have any problems with water quality or anything because of the plants. Personally I would add some more but hey its his tank
I also have a full-time day job as well as do interior design and build terrariums on the side. I’m trying to incorporate terrariums/paludariums into my interior design practice as a way for people who can’t get outside (because of different abilities or living in the city) a way to enjoy a little slice of nature. I am presenting on this at the Portland Home and Garden Show in a couple of weeks - wish me luck. I don’t know how I fit all this in and work full-time! I sincerely admire your dedication to your art, Tanner! It IS very hard work with many late nights and early mornings.
Hollye Maxwell Maybe you should look into the versions of bonsai called saikei or pen jing for your concrete trapped clients. Easier and quicker than regular bonsai
@@KingGinger101 What about a white Betta? Like, a glowing white Betta. Ooo, even better, a white halfmoon! Get it? Because moon. Hahaha, I'm so clever. (Says with sarcasm)
My cats would be like...ooohh, running water, this must be our new water bowl. They would totally be drinking out of that LOL Lovely scape, very tranquil and I love how you truly made it look as though a branch had fallen into the water and split apart.
I would add some freshwater cherry shrimp to that and with the color of the sand the shrimp would really stand out and look stunning, plus they will feed off of the aquatic plants, lay eggs and breed.
Wow, mosstache man. That is stunning, as per usual. I'm not usually a fan of light colored substrate, but you pulled this off beautifully. You've given me yet another idea to spend my money on 😁😁
Im really looking forward to updates on this piece, I myself have wanted to do something like this for a while and hope to start off right in order to have the work thrive long term. Thanks Tanner!
You are a true artist mate! Thought about putting a nano aquarium in my glas bar but always worried about the weight. This is a great alternative, so cheers for that...
*I really like this project! But I would really appreciate seeing a follow-up video to see how the project weather's. How the plants and the Moss and such adjusts*
Watching your videos is super soothing. I feel like my general stress levels are greatly reduced during and after watching. I appreciate your existence
Hey Tanner, awesome build yet again! If you make this last build 10 times bigger, it would make a perfect home for creek-dwelling musk turtles! Thanks for the upload!
This instructional is very well put together thanks for adding the amazon product list. I have a Leopard Gecko who loves water I'm going to build this inside his terrarium. Thanks for this!
I have a little filter I took out of an old 1g betta tank that I kept a snail in for awhile to grow a little. I’ve been looking for something to use it for, because well I don’t want to waste it. Thanks for the idea, I think I’m going to try to create something sort of similar, it looks so good!
I’d like to let you know something, I built this 3 days after you posted this video serpa, and it still runs perfectly today and is still my favourite. Thank you
I will do this, but with bigger organizer. So I can put my local drainage fish in it. (We have certain type of fish living in some of the clean drainage, usually when it located near a swamp or natural river. It's like guppies, but grey and plain looking)
Hey Tanner! I was wondering what the maintenance is like. I would love to create this design, but I'm a complete beginner. Would this setup get dirty easily and be difficult to clean? I won't be putting in any fishes -- just basically doing 99% of what you have done. Thanks!
@@SerpaDesign hey, i a week ago i built my first paludarium. It is for vampire crabs i put a root for them to easier climb out of the water. But the wood molded and i had to remove it from the paludarium. I made some changes so they will still be able to get out of the water. How do i keep the root from molding when its not fully submerged? Big fan btw👍
@@edwin1712 It will mould, but give it a couple of days/weeks and it will soon go away. Many inverts do enjoy snacking on the mould/biofilm that it produces, so your vamps may enjoy it.
That looks REALLY nice. I love your designs! You've inspired me into doing terrariums and I'm seriously thinking about getting into waterscapes. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks for the video
@SerpaDesign I need help!! I made something very similar a few weeks ago and the water is constantly turning yellow and the spider wood has white mold growing on it on the parts that arent in water and I need help getting the water clear and mold off. Please give me tips on how you keep yours clean.
Have you had any issues with the super glue becoming brittle and pieces becoming dislodged? Any reason you chose super glue over silicone? Love the project, and your channel. It's an invaluable resource. Keep up the great work!
Love the content and the beautiful conclusions my friend however many of us would like to know what it looks like weeks later. It's a lot easier to build something and have it look great initially but building something and having it look just as good; if not better weeks/months later is the key. I know that you know this ;)
Thanks so much for this! Not only as another one of your beautiful and soothing scapes, but I've been pondering how best to do a waterfall for a particular themed tank I'm planning. I look forward to more ideas and inspiration, as my builds tend to develop over months not days ;)
Of course it is awesome. Personally for me the sand and slate do not match up. The colors are not right together nor would that combo be found in nature, unless there was more transition from one to the other. Does the container have to be that full of water or can it run just as well with less? And can you hear the water fall?
Zack Payne Shrimp would jump from the tank in seconds. Not enough filtration to support fish either. It would look amazing with a couple fish though for sure
Turned out beautiful... I must say watching your videos few years back have brought out my creative side... having total 4 tanks. Family and i had to move in with the in-laws and had to give away do to no space for them. Broke my heart but we are currently bouncing back and on our way to a home. Once i do ill continue building one tank at a time. Much love from Santiago Family in Orlando Fl
Hello, I really enjoy your videos. They have actually inspired me to start doing terrariums. I was wondering if temperatures have anything to do with a successful living terrarium? My house is at 69-70 all year round, will this effect them?
I’m planning on getting a dumpy tree frog, as I’m away from it just by a few days I wanted to find a way to keep the humidity or at least give them a full chance of always having water, I stumbled across this and it gave me quite a few ideas, thank you and amazing job on that waterfall!!
I love your display.💖 It's gorgeous. I would love to have one, it would be perfect with a couple of guppies, neon tetras or any real small freshwater fish n it. From the top view, It would be perfect for neon tetras in it. I actually have 2 of those pumps I use 1 to drain my 55 gal tank, and one for my outdoor pond, they are very powerful. I really wish y'all would learn what Tupperware is. That is a cheap old $1. container probably bought at the Dollar Tree. You have to order Tupperware, which is lifetime guaranteed. You know, you can add cleaned regular ground moss to your fountain, instead of buying those expensive ones? I use outside ground moss in my fish tanks. It produces lots of oxygen for the fish and it grows, and the fish nibble from it. Just don't use with goldfish, they will eat it all.
Thank u, I forwarded this to my son to make Xmas presents out of your idea. One for his grandparents and 1 for his dad to take into the office. It is affordable, personal and very feng shui with the relaxing atmosphere, low maintenance as well, so the perfect gift for any occasion.

A few cherry shrimps would really lighten up the place!
Good job man 👍👍👍 wish I had that much patience to make one tho 😁😁😁
Beautiful job.. well done
Beautifil and very inspiring ! Thanks again.
I wonder if you added maybe some java moss to part of the water, if you could keep shrimp in it. Like cherry or ghost shrimp.
Very beautiful. Doesn't the part of the plant above the waterline dry out??
i think im going to try this one
wish me luck :D

That is a cheap old $1. container probably bought at the Dollar Tree. You have to order Tupperware, which is lifetime guaranteed.
You know, you can add cleaned regular ground moss to your fountain, instead of buying those expensive ones? I use outside ground moss in my fish tanks. It produces lots of oxygen for the fish and it grows, and the fish nibble from it. Just don't use with goldfish, they will eat it all.
You are very WELL-ORGANISED and manage every inch in order. Very well-presented!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank u, I forwarded this to my son to make Xmas presents out of your idea. One for his grandparents and 1 for his dad to take into the office. It is affordable, personal and very feng shui with the relaxing atmosphere, low maintenance as well, so the perfect gift for any occasion.
How can I NOT subscribe after seeing this?BEAUTIFUL!
If I double up the dimension, would it work as a fish acquarium? What kind of fish would you put in it?
